BEWARE: I Loved Her...but She burned me

I bought my GL450 used—she was a peach. I did my research and test drove all the lux SUVs that would tow my airstream. Once I drove the GL450, I was sold. Great power, smooth ride, comfortable for a family of 4 -5 to take cross-country road trips or a camping trip to the mountains. She was great going up and down the mountains and maneuvered fantastic with our airstream around curves or on the Interstate. BUT...I knew going in that she would cost me a pretty penny if/when she was in the shop, so I bought the best warranty I could find. Glad I did! I had Her for a year and for four of those months, she was in for repairs to the EVAP system—Heat not working, Engine light on, EVAP pressure problems, Heat Core problems, Air Coolant Hose replaced...over $16K. Mercedes Service wasn't much help. Ready for it? Her engine caught fire while I was in line to pick up my kids at school. I WATCHED HER BURN. The investigator could not find any conclusive evidence of the cause, but he suggested it was connected to the EVAP system. So glad I wasn't on the road at the time. I LOVED everything about this car. But if you are researching a used one and see a carfax report that the EVAP, Heating, Cooling, or Exhaust system has been checked around 100K-BEWARE! It's going to cost you! Once one thing goes anywhere along the system, it stresses everything else down the line and you will live at the repair shop. BE CAREFUL.

Are you kidding me? I was ripped off completely especially when the ad blue system failed, I was quoted 11,000 plus tax to replace the system, later it was another issue it knot sensor. I would never recommend this car for anyone. Although thanks to Mercedes they gave me one time 75% discount but still my heart is broken. Maintainance cost is alarming and not reliable car. I am heart broken cause issues arising seem non stop. Fault is frequent

2014 GL 350 was a great suv when it worked, could not find a better SUV, previously had a 2008 GL320, but met up with a deer and totaled the car. Barely noticed any impact and all occupants were safe. The 2014 GL cost $46 K in repairs (under MB extended warranty) in 6 years. Once covid hit in 2020 we drove less, but still had numerous visits to the service dept. diesel emissions, soot sensors, DEF heating tank, airmatic suspension, and proximity sensors were the main issue. The oil level in the engine was always over full, a complaint I made to the dealer since 2018. He said it occurs because they do not drain the oil pan , rather suck the oil out thru the dipstick. Then fill it with the amount of oil suggested. Later I discovered through an independent that the over fill was diesel fuel seeping into the oil pan. In the last few months, 4 hours of driving would add 1 liter of diesel fuel to the oil pan. Had to trade the car. Lost faith in the dealership service dept and purchased an X7.

2013 GL550

At the end of October 2012 we traded in my wife's 2008 Mercedes 4matic (station wagon) for a new Mercedes 2013 GL550. We love the exterior design of the car and the flexibility on the interior design with the third row seats. The acceleration of the car is incredible-no problem merging onto the freeway or passing. Gas mileage is not the cars strong suit but I did not expect it to be. Now the bad, at 4000 miles the car needs new front rotors which are not yet a stocking item at my dealership-10 day wait! A In addition both side view mirrors are defective-drivers side is frosted and the passenger's side has two stripped bolts off its backing plate.
